“In the wealthiest country to ever exist, whether or not you can afford to see a doctor shouldn’t come down to your age, whether you have a seat in Congress, or your willingness to get shot at in your twenties.” thechaossection.com/2026/03/24/w...

The Chaos Section Poetry Project is now open for submissions

Accurate, Mr. King. Bonus points for “bumblefucked.”

There’s a difference between activism as identity and activism as work. One lives on social media. The other happens in phone banks, voter drives, and long boring hours… Cynthia Tarana’s latest on that difference: tcspress.com/2026/03/14/e... @radical-feminist.bsky.social

This is a message to all MAGA-Republicans: You keep saying that Democrats want free stuff and that the government can't do anything right so you voted for Trump. It's time for a little education.

My mentions have folks calling Talarico a "fascist" and assuring me that black Texans would never ever vote for anyone who uses Christian language. For the good of democracy, I'm begging some of you to take a long break from social media. It's not helping you and you're definitely not helping us.

Trump is a continuation, a manifestation of decades of ignorance and apathy at the world’s expense. We again have leadership willing to sacrifice the lives of many for the few. We are once again at war, and it will not make us safer. It never does. - Cynthia Tarana, @radical-feminist.bsky.social

“If you go downstairs right now, on the very corner of this square is a large hunk of metal trash to a Confederate traitor who murdered the real heroes of the Civil War who stood against slavery. And that kind of trash invites more trash.” tcspress.com/2026/01/22/c...

The answer to a request for $50 Billion to fund an illegal war, on top of the already approved trillion dollars in defense spending, should be simple. It’s “no.” And every Democrat who needs more than a few seconds to get there should think very carefully about what they’re telling the rest of us.

The Chaos Section is open for submissions. We’re looking for sharp essays on power, culture, and anti-authoritarian themes. Personal pieces welcome if they say something bigger about the world. Independent, unpaid. Submission guidelines below. tcspress.com/write/

"In my mind, this election is for all the marbles. If Democrats lose, then the consolidation of power in the hands of the president will be unstoppable. This slide to authoritarianism, I think, will reach its natural conclusion." —Beto O'Rourke @betoorourke.bsky.social tcspress.com/2026/02/12/w...

A Party That Seeks to Nationalize and Control Elections Has Entered Fascist Territory tcspress.com/2026/02/04/t...

Great step forward in the abstract… and absolutely insane they weren’t issued #BodyCams from the start. Of course, the real question is will they have to *actually* use them or share footage the next time a protester, immigrant, or innocent bystander gets killed? #ICE www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Don Lemon wasn’t arrested for disrupting a church service. He was arrested because the Trump administration wants journalists afraid. This is intimidation, plain and simple. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Despite being outspent 10 - 1 Democrat Taylor Rehmet, a #veteran, local union leader, and first-time candidate, just won a #Texas special election near Fort Worth in a district Trump carried by 17+ points last year. apnews.com/article/texa...

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

The Washington state Senate voted Wednesday to ban law enforcement from covering their faces in response to growing concerns over masked federal immigration agents. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/01/28/w...

That river is still running.

This is not the kind of behavior I expect from a FIFA Peace Prize recipient www.reuters.com/world/middle...

In the end, this won’t be remembered as a dispute between left and right. It will be remembered as a choice between standing on the right side of history or standing by while the state dismantled the limits on its power. www.counterpunch.org/2026/01/27/t... #Ice #AlexPretti #ReneeGood

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

Eyewitness says she has not even been contacted by federal investigators

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

#ICE recruitment poster quoting “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” a song popular in white-nationalist and neo-Nazi circles… I’m sure that’s just a “coincidence.” #FuckICE #LiteralNazis

"I understand that fear is my friend, but not always. Never turn your back on fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed.” - HST

Attacking peaceful protesters with pepper spray from a vehicle is Assault and Battery in Arizona under A.R.S. § 13-1203 and would be prosecuted as a felony if it were anyone besides Trump’s cowardly, masked thugs.

"I don't care about what side you're on or who you voted for, this is wrong," wrote ex-ASU star Kole Calhoun on Instagram.

Local leaders who had spoken earlier at the event urged @ilhanmn.bsky.social #Omar to leave the room and “get checked. “No,” she said, “that is what they want. We will continue. These fucking assholes are not going to get away with this.” ✊🏽 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop? www.fox4news.com/news/48-texa...

Donald Trump: “You can’t have guns.” Can you even IMAGINE the absolute uproar from the Right if those 4 words had ever left Obama’s mouth? #Trump #Guns #Obama #hypocrisy

“You can’t bring guns to protests,” say the same people whose rallies look like Bass Pro Shops with flags tcspress.com/2026/01/27/y...

If Alex’s parents haven’t given up, if those people in Minneapolis haven’t given up, then how can anybody else? betoorourke.substack.com/p/alex-prett...

Bovino is lying

As of Jan 8th, 100% of murders in Minneapolis in 2026 have been committed by ICE agents. #JusticeForRene #AbolishICE

“To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite.” — Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey More local leaders need to be saying this out loud. #FuckICE

In 2004, my mom wrote about what war costs—not just for those who fight, but for those who wait, worry, and live with the aftermath. Twenty years later, I’m sharing her words again, along with my reflections as a veteran, son, and father. tcspress.com/2025/11/11/t...

We’re open for #essay #submissions again. Political, philosophical, personal, somewhere in between. We like writing that says something real, makes people feel something, cuts through noise, challenges power, feels lived-in. If it’s honest, sharp, and human, we'd love to read it. tcspress.com/write/

History and data agree: when roughly 3.5 % of people engage in sustained, peaceful action, real change becomes possible. "Critical Mass 3Point5" is built on that idea, nonviolence as realistic strategy, not wishful thinking. Explore the project: criticalmass35.org #Democracy #Trump #Protest #NoKings
